Well, Electionistas, it's been a LONG and INTENSE race to the White House, and last night, the results finally came in!

Democratic Senator Barack Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States — the first African-American president in American history! Congratulations, Democrats!

Senator John McCain gave a concession speech in Arizona shortly after the results were announced. He said: "This is a historic election, and I recognize the significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight. We both realize that we have come a long way from the injustices that once stained our nation's reputation."

Fifteen minutes after McCain's speech, Obama took the stage in Chicago and addressed the nation for the first time as President-elect of the United States.

"It's been a long time coming," he said, "but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America."

He also added: "To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too."

Check out the full speech below:

This was a big election for the Democratic party, not only because of Obama's win: The Democrats are now in control of the House, the Senate, and the White House for the first time since President Bill Clinton was in office in 1995.

Now that the results are in and the election is over, how are you feeling about it? How did your state — and family — vote? What sort of changes do you want to see Obama make in the next four years? We want to hear all your thoughts, feelings, and concerns about the election results, so tell us below!
